whatever it is, i just can't stop

Lyrics

if i pick it up, can i put it down, whatever it is i just can't stop, for only 20 seconds at a time it's all mine. i got, too much, pressure, got me under it's thumb, and it's no fun, you can lose, now i got a choice but i can't choose, insistent as you are, is no guarantee that you'll go far, rock steady, if you can, but i've never been a steady man, people, wanna shoot you down, if you can't swim then you will drown, in sorrow, can't get no medical attention till tomorrow, sadlands are where i live, but that's none of your business, you keep asking, and soon enough, the kids gonna have to get rough, maybe i'm a speed king, push with the foot and i'm smiling, i can glide on the love inside, and there was you thinking that my hands were tied, all along i saw you hoping, i would slip and i'm not joking, the evidence in these events, is still your lack of commonsense, did you really think that i would sink, because i like another drink, have to get up to get down, the remedy is in the sound, absurdity of your suggestion, leaves me asking just one question, if you are my friend today?, why do you wanna hear me say?, if i pick it up, can i put it down, whatever it is, i just can't stop,
